The last time I saw Franz Ferdinand was back in 2018 here at The Pageant. That show had a bit of a moodier vibe to it with darker blue lighting in comparison to tonight’s show that had nice front lighting and red back lighting. As the band took stage the opening chords of ‘The Dark of the Matinée‘ kicked in and the the crowd was instantly drawn in. Twenty years in and the band still gives it 110%. The charismatic frontman Alex Kapranos knows how to work the stage as he jumps, dances, and roams the entire stage occasionally reaching his hand outstretched to the crowd like he is pulling them in. The twenty song set that included several new songs like ‘The Doctor’, ‘Audacious’, and ‘Bar Lonely’ to name a few, off their new album The Human Fear that is set to be released on January 10th, along with fan favorites like ‘Take Me Out’, ‘No You Girls’, ‘Do You Want To‘, and the final song of the night ‘This Fire’.
